Jurgen Klopp has given his endorsement to Xabi Alonso as the standout candidate to take over his position as Liverpool manager. Alonso, who is currently leading Bayer Leverkusen to the top of the Bundesliga, has impressed Klopp with his exceptional management skills.
Klopp praised Alonso for his background as a former world-class player and coming from a coaching family, which has helped him excel in his coaching career. The Liverpool boss described Alonso as already being like a coach when he was playing.
Alonso’s success as a manager is evident in the performance of Bayer Leverkusen. Under his guidance, the team has built a comfortable lead in the Bundesliga, currently eight points clear of second-placed Bayern Munich. Notably, Alonso’s side recently defeated Bayern Munich with a 3-0 victory, showcasing his tactical prowess.
Alonso’s transfer decisions have also been commendable. He has brought in top players such as Victor Boniface and Granit Xhaka, who have made a significant impact on the team. One of his best signings, Alejandro Grimaldo, joined on a free transfer and has been a key contributor with eight goals and 10 assists this season.
If Alonso were to take over as Liverpool manager, his eye for quality and successful track record would undoubtedly benefit the team. Klopp’s endorsement further solidifies Alonso’s status as the frontrunner for the position.
